[citeproc bug] et al formatting inherited by bibliography

While we're on a roll:

Minimal style example here:
https://gist.github.com/adam3smith/7797910

Expected behavior for 3+ authors:

Citation: Smith et al. 1999
Bibliography: Smith, J. et al. 1999

Actual behavior:
Citation: Smith et al. 1999
Bibliography: Smith, J. et al. 1999

In other words, the et al italics are inherited by the bibliography, although they're not in the author macro (just in author-short).

  • I'm not sure this one is a bug. If you set an explicit <et-al font-style="normal"> on the author macro, it renders with italics in cs:citation and no italics in cs:bibliography.
  • right, but why should something I set in one macro affect something that I set in another macro? It's good that I can override it - and I did notice that - but that shouldn't be necessary. Without an et-al formatting set, the et al term should be rendered with the default formatting, i.e. normal.
  • Yeah, I had second thoughts on the train in to work, and updated the processor patch plugin with a fix.
  • yup, that did it. Thanks!
